My server never ran right using the install as service function on PMS. Since installing the service per these instructions, it has ran flawlessly. To have PS3 Media Server run as a service and auto-start when you computer boots..

1) If running, shut down PS3 Media Server

2) Download Windows Server 2003 Resource Kits Tools and install

3) Open command prompt (run as administrator) and type in this command.

Yeah I forgot to mention. There is a PMS.bat file in the PMS program folder. If you click on that it will open up a command prompt then ask you to press any key. Once you do that it will open up the executble to make any changes inside of the program.

Windows 7 RC here. Can't get the service to work properly no matter what. Tried the above, tried disabling Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, PS3 just will not see the PC. Starting PMS normally works flawlessly.

I tried to follow the instrutions, but I get stuck on the third part with the command line. When I copy and paste the text, it tells me "This service has already been started", even though I disabled the service in services.msc. I tried net stop and entered "net stop ps3 media server", but it tell sme the syntax is "net stop service", I think it's becuase I used spaces in "ps3 media server", but I don't know how to stop it otherwise.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I deleted the service and then carried on from step 3 and I think it works now. Thanks

railman226,I have installed pms on WHS per above instruction but it does not automatically start whenever I restart the WHS. I would appreciate more detailed instruction. Also sekhu mentioned that he deleted service and then carried on from step 3. What is the command to delete the service?thanks.
